At your natural foods store, you can choose from a number of underarm deodorants covered in fancy packaging designed to make you feel cool and oh-so-progressive.
Want to know a secret?
The best deodorant I know of isn't even stocked with the personal products. You'll find it in the baking section, near the vanilla flavoring, corn starch and cookie sprinkles.
That's right - I'm talking about good, old fashioned baking soda.
- Baking soda does a great job keeping you socially acceptable (my husband uses it, too, so I know it's strong enough for the guys.)
- It comes in a biodegradable cardboard box. Or you may be lucky enough to find it in bulk and re-use your own container.
- It won't stain your clothing (at least, I've never had it happen.)
- It's aluminum - free, so you won't have to worry if it might give you Alzheimer's.
- It's really cheap.
- And it's great for all sorts of other uses, too.
I keep some handy in my bathroom in a pretty little ceramic jar with a lid. It does double duty there, because it's in easy reach when I need a mild cleanser to clean the sink.
Give it a try - and let me know what you think!
